Crickets at fens and heathlands in the Netherlands. I think they are Woodland Grasshoppers, but hope someone can give me a definitive answer.

About the Kampina area;
De Kampina is a varied nature reserve with extensive heathland, pine forests and many fens and is now part of the new Van Gogh National Park nature reserve.
Centrally, the large Kampinase Heide is adorned by numerous fens such as the Belversven; more sheltered, in the north-east corner of the area, are the Huisvennen and these Zandbergsvennen, where we are now standing, which are particularly rich in dragonfly species. Over the heathland, the call of the curlew can be heard (but not now). The heath is here and there peaty and has special species like lavender heath. Extensive (planted) pine forests lie especially on the northern and eastern sides.
